Eremite's Attack (PvP): Changed to: If target foe is under a condition when this attack hits all nearby foes suffer from the same condition for 3…9 seconds Mystic Regeneration (PvP): You gain +0…2 health regen and move 5% faster for each enchantment on you.

Regardless of how well/poorly you would do skill balancing, it is obvious you have put a lot of time into this. I give you my best.

See... when you do stuff like that and the meta gets all screwed up, you don't really know what caused it. If those skill updates cause the game to go to hell, a.net has no idea what is wrong and what to revert back. That's why updates occur gradually, so all the various skill interactions can be better understood.
A lot of your suggestions are okay, but you don't do that all at once. Nerfs are needed. Buffing everything won't suddenly make the game better. Skills must be balanced carefully and slowly. |

Some of the changes I agree with, others I don't. Regardless, I believe that proactively changing more skills for better or worse is healthier for a game than having it sit in one spot for months on end with few changes at all.

Some of those are good... some of those are bad... some of those are just OP.... Read the Wind adds an IMS? GG for putting a lot of thought and time into this mate. Great to see input placed into the game... even more so when the amount is this much. GJ.

Ok, I only looked at the necro skills cause thats my main class and I'm more familiar with the skills and their cast, recharge, problems, etc. I liked what I was seeing until I saw this "Pain of Disenchantment: Increased casting time to 3, decreased energy to 5" Three second casting time to remove enchantments... no way, same with gaze of contempt. From there to vocal minority, is pretty bad. Rip enchantment is fine how it is IMO. I dont agree with increasing the casting times of the other skills to 2-3 secs and poisoned heart? Sig of Suffering would have too much spike potential. Order of Undeath? Rotting flesh only needs to have a lower casting time... seriously 3 seconds?

What would recharging a skill twice do? It can't work because it's already recharged?? lol

Quite... well, you sure don't have access to the skill usage statistics Anet has.
Oh, by the way, a glyph has low energy cost, namely 5 (with the exception of polymock glyphs that cost 1). That's one of the 'basics' of a glyph. You don't touch that. A glyph with an energy cost of 25 is an aberration. |

Some good proposals, some misguided. Overall you push for too much change for the sake of change. Balancing is about tweaking the outliers, not redoing everything.

I mainly checked the monk changes and wasn't too happy. Changing cast time to 1/4 or 3 secs are usually not a good idea. I found you made a few monk skills way too OP. But at least I got a few hahas out of the max 840 dmg from Word of Censure. Can you say auto-kill if unhealed or removed. Would be the next boss farm

"Final Thrust: Now 9 adrenaline and has a ½ casting time"
GIVE ME THIS NOW. I for one would love protector's strike doing 150 damage. Anyway most of these skill changes don't make any sort of sense. Last edited by Lux Aeterna; May 18, 2009 at 04:39 AM // 04:39.. |
